Coastal cities worldwide are facing the combined challenges of urbanisation, climate change, sea level rise and increased flood risks.

One of the ways to deal with this complex combination of challenges, is by integrating urban climate resilience, coastal protection, urban development, and in some cases, land reclamation. An innovative and ecosystems friendly solution to extend and improve our coastlines would be Building with Nature or “Living Shorelines” which uses the forces of nature rather than fight against it.

Get perspectives from leading experts actively involved in planning, building, and safeguarding resilient and sustainable coastlines and gain insights from real-life case studies from cities such as Amsterdam, New York, and Singapore.
